What a peculiar restaurant this is. The setting and decor are nice enough and the food is quite good (though I feel there is better in Basel). However, the overall experience for us, a group of 12 professional people who enjoy a relaxed and civilised meal, was nothing short of dreadful. The attitude of the female hostess was astoundingly unprofessional,... More

This place seems to have it all. The decor is brilliant, the style is very chic and the visual impression is very pleasing to the eyes. Thanks to the chef's daily changing menu, one gets only the freshest ingredients and dishes. 10 out of 10 for the delicious food. But then comes the service. We were served by two ladies... More

Good restaurant for business lunches and dinners. You can see them cooking your food. Food always tatsy and good. However they are not very partial to a noisy group of people who are enjoying themselves.

After going back to "Bonvivant" recently for two different occasions (one time business, one time with wife & sister) I realized how true the saying "why seek far afield when the good is so close by" is. Travelling exensively over the last years and enjoying splendid restaurants at perfect locations in buzzing cities I was kind of shocked that I... More

The restaurant is very well known in Basel and so diverse are the stories about it. First of all: the interior of the place suits my taste and is very well done. The food is excellently prepared. BUT: The service was terrible! Arrogant, unfriendly - it is almost a joke how paying guests are treated here. If you don't mind... More

Been there for my partners birthday during art basel last year. Write only now as we are looking for a place again for this year and memories are coming back. One: Great industrial setting with open kitchen. Industrial design and comfort is not an oxymoron. Two: Food very well executed and full of flavor. Great compliment to the chef. Three:... More

I have been here several times & it has never been a let-down. Amazing food, great atmosphere... I will most certainly go there again soon.

Great ambiance. Open kitchen, you can meet Andreas, the chef, Petra, the wonderful hostess. Great concept: set menu normally 4 course meal and wine pairing suggestions. Food is amazingly good!
